These days, other Python implementations already provide the cElementTree module as a bare alias for ElementTree.py anyway, without emitting any warnings. Why should CPython be the only one that shouts at users for importing it?

Since all warnings are now silent by default (including DeprecationWarning), it's less of a shout and more of an eyebrow-frown and a tut-tuting really.
